I don't think things are usually exactly what they appear to be. The Earth appears to be a flat disk, but it really isn't. Airplanes seem to be mythological entities like dragons, but they are nevertheless real.
How could morality not be a factor in gun violence?
Do they seem like dragons? What shithole did you say you were from again? You gonna do a little deep gun data analysis for us, from that place you live where planes seem like dragons?

So where are we now? We live in a world where cops and soldiers are moral paragons, people are experts at correctly assessing risk, airplanes seem like dragons, and there are more people brandishing weapons at passersby than there are criminals to go around.
-and if any of this shit isn't absolutely true, then entire fields of science are false.

I am from Croatia. I meant that stories about people flying on airplanes sound unreal, like stories about people flying on dragons. Up until a few years ago, I thought that airplanes don't exist, in part because they appear to contradict the Torricelli's Law. I wrote about it here: https://atheistforums.org/thread-50241.html

No, my assumptions that countries that feel safer are actually safer and that cops and soldiers are moral paragons are not based on a study. Only that guns save more lives than they take is based on a study (the Gary Kleck's study).

Had you never seen a plane in the sky? Never heard one fly overhead? Do they not have airports in Croatia?
This is batshit crazy.

The Austro-Hungarian empire in WWI had (for the time) a relatively modern air force. It stands to reason, then, that this ignorance of heavier-than-air flight belongs to the poster and not the nation.

You wouldn't have thought such idiotic nonsense if you'd, you know, go outside and look around.
